Excerpt from Over the Drawing Board: A Draftmen"s Hand Book
It was a quite common custom in the West during the early nineties for draftsmen to visit each other"s boards and discuss their work and methods, or during the noon hour while eating lunch at the board or at the big detail table which was used only occasionally, to talk over past experiences in other offices and tell about little shortcuts and methods of other draftsmen - that is how I first heard and learned of the work of Harvey Ellis and D. A. Gregg. Again perhaps one of the older men was working on a particularly interesting drawing and the student and some of the younger men were allowed to look on for a few minutes and even to ask a question or two. All these things did not help the orderly working of the drafting room but they contributed mightily to the education of the draftsman, particularly if he were anxious to learn. I can recall no experiences of my "cub" days with greater pleasure.
